CITY OF SAN BERM_ ZDINO - REQUEST F( I COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
BACKGROUND
Jim Howell, Acting Director of Public Services, has recommended reclassifying one
Maintenance Worker I to a Maintenance Worker II in the Sewer Crew Section, in order to meet
scheduling and operational needs.
The Sewer Crew Section consists of 9 employees: 1 - Maintenance Supervisor; 1 - Lead
Maintenance Worker; 6 - Maintenance Worker II; and, 1 - Maintenance Worker I. An
organizational chart is attached.
All sewer crew members are mandated by OSHA law to be trained in confined space techniques
and escape procedures, CPR certification, oxygen supply use certification, ability to operate and
maintain sophisticated equipment and exposure to potentially hazardous materials and working
conditions. There is an increased level of complexity and responsibility in responding to sewer
main maintenance and repair, restrictions and guidelines pertinent to entering manholes and
sewer lines, handling sewer spills, reporting procedures and emergency standby scheduling.
The Maintenance Worker I employee is being trained to perform at the Maintenance Worker H
level. However, his job description as a Maintenance Worker I prevents him from actually
performing the work under more than "on-the-job" training conditions. There are three (3)
primary job description differences: (1)entry level skills vs. skilled laborer; (2)experience with
hand tools vs. light equipment; and, (3) California Driver's License Class III, vs. Class B
license requirements.
The employee presently in this Maintenance Worker I position on the Sewer Crew is also on the
Civil Service promotional certified eligibility list for the Maintenance Worker II position. He
went through the recent recruitment series of interviews, scored highly and is, by Civil Service
guidelines, fully qualified to perform the job requirements. If this reclassification is approved,
the employee will be performing his job at a higher level than he is able to do currently. The
approval of this request will create "equity" among all the sewer crew employees.
COST & FUNDING SOURCES
The Maintenance Worker I incumbent is currently at Step 5, Range 1275 ($2,124/month).
Annual compensation, including 19.37% variable benefits that rise with salary totals $30,425
per year. The Public Services Department recommends reclassifying the incumbent to a
2
'5-0264
Maintenance Worker H, at Step 4, Range 1295, ($2,235/month). Annual compensation,
including 19.37% variable benefits that rise with salary, totals $32,015 per year. The variance
is an additional $1.590 Mr year. which is charged to the sewer line maintenance fund.
The reclassification will create no impact on the general fund

CITY OF SAN BERN/ IDINO - REQUEST F( 3 COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
BACKGROUND
At its meeting of 9/20/93, the Mayor and Common Council approved an agreement for
development of a transportation demand model. This model will be used for the following
functions: satisfy Congestion Management Program (CMP) and Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) requirements; effectively assess development and
redevelopment (Norton reuse, Tri-City, Downtown) impacts on circulation; support traffic
system fees based on established transportation system demand forecast; conduct a General Plan
update; and, establish a verifiable arterial corridor implementation plan agenda.
To run, maintain and utilize the model, Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public
Works/Engineering, recommends hiring a full-time transportation modeller (Engineering
Assistant II[). After extensive review, the Department concluded that a full-time additional
position was the best alternative for the following reasons:
• Availability to provide answers to urgent questions and issues in a timely manner.
• On-demand staff support on a priority basis to other departments/agencies,
developers and their consultants.
• Lower costs to the City for salary and benefits vs. consultant fees.
• Better quality control using in-house staff.
COST & FUNDING SOURCES
A full-time Engineering Assistant III (Engineering Division) will cost about $47.643/year in
salary and variable benefits per year, at Step One.
Funding for this position is projected as follows:
Economic Development Agency 50%
Traffic System Fee Fund 31%
Revenue from Sale of Data 19%
100%
No general fund monies will be used to finance this pgsition,
2
i-0264
The Community Development Commission approved its share of the funding on 2/21/94. Since
the original projection was made, six cities have indicated a desire to join our model. The
Public Works/Engineering Department is in the process of negotiating an agreement. If this
effort is successful, revenue would be received for the time spent on other cities' models.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL
FROM: RACHEL CLARK, CITY CLERK
DATE: March 10, 1994
RE: COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM - MARCH 21 , 1994-
REORGANIZATION OF POSITIONS IN THE CITY CLERK'S
OFFICE
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At a Council Personnel Committee held on March 10, 1994, a
proposal was submitted for a reorganization of positions in the
City Clerk's Office and it was unanimously approved.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL:
1. Eliminate Lien Coordinator Position
2 . Establish Account Clerk III Position
3. Reclassify one Business Registration Inspector Position
SAVINGS
1. Lien Coordinator Vacancy 5859
(Savings from 1/24-3/22/94)
2. Savings from eliminating Lien Cdtr
and creating Account Clerk III position
(3/22-6/30/94) 3041
8900
3. Reclassification of one Business Reg.
Inspector Position (3/22-6/30) 319
Net Savings FY 93/94 $8581
PROPOSALS ONE AND TWO:
Propose eliminating the Lien Coordinator position (Range 1342,
$2442-2968/mo) and establishing an Account Clerk III position
(Range 1292, $1901-2311/mo) in the Administrative Division of the
City Clerk's Office.
The Lien Coordinator's position was established in 1989 for the
purpose of coordinating the imposition, release, and collection
of property liens for the various City departments. All of the
processes implemented for the central coordination of the lien
program were initiated when the position was first created.
During the initial years of the program, the skills of a higher
level position were required to get the program running smoothly
and efficiently.
The former Lien Coordinator prepared a complete lien program
procedures manual and successfully implemented the coordination
of liens for the various City departments.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
March 10, 1994
Page Two
A reassessment of the tasks presently related to the Lien Program
indicates that the responsibilities of coordinating the lien
program can be handled by an Account Clerk III . It is therefore
recommended that the Lien Coordinator's position be eliminated
and that an Account Clerk III position be created.
PROPOSAL THREE:
Coupled with the request to eliminate the Lien Coordinator's
position is a request to reclassify one Business Registration
Inspector ' s position to that of a Business Registration
Coordinator.
By creating an Account Clerk III position in place of the Lien
Coordinator position, a yearly salary savings of $10,464 will be
realized (From "E" Step of Lien Coordinator $2968/mo to "C" Step
of Account Clerk III, $2096/mo) . It is recommended that one
Business Registration Inspector Position (Range 1310, $2081-
2529/mo) be reclassified to a Business Registration Coordinator
(Range 2349, $2528-3072/mo) and that Cindy Buechter be promoted
to that position effective March 22, 1994 .
Cindy Buechter is currently one of four Business Registration
Inspectors. She has been employed with the City since 1983. In
addition to her duties as a Business Registration Inspector,
Cindy was responsible for implementing the Single Family Rental
Licensing Program in 1990 and has successfully implemented and
monitored the program on an on-going basis. At the time she was
given the responsibility of establishing the Single Family Rental
Licensing Program it was anticipated that her position would be
reclassified; however, that has not been realized and the duties
incumbent with the position merit a higher classification. Mrs.
Buechter also supervises the Business Registration Division when
the Division Supervisor is absent. Additionally, she has worked
with the press in coordinating special projects/events such as
elections, ward redistricting, any other activities.
I respectfully request that the Mayor and Council approve the
request for reorganization which has been given unanimous
approval by the Personnel Committee and present the following
motions for your consideration:
MOTION NO. 1•
That one Lien Coordinator position be eliminated (Range 1342,
$2442-2968/mo) ; and that one Account Clerk III position be
established (Range 1292, $1901-$2311/mo) .
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council

MOTION NO. 2•
That a new classification of Business Registration Coordinator be
established (Range 2349, $2528-$3072/mo. )
MOTION NO. 3 •

1310, $2081-2529/mo) to Business Registration Coordinator (Range
2349, $2528-3072/mo) .

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Deletion of Two (2) Development Permit Technician
Positions and Establishment of Two (2) Additional Plan
Checker Positions
REQUEST
This is a request to delete two (2) currently authorized positions
of Development Permit Technician and establish two (2) additional
Plan Checker positions for a total of four (4) Plan Checker
positions within the department. There would be no increase in the
total number of authorized positions.
BACKGROUND
Two Development Permit Technician positions were funded through the
Master Services Agreement with the Economic Development Agency in
Fiscal Year 1991-92 and 92-93 .
The Department requests deletion of two Development Permit
Technician positions and establishment of two additional Plan
Checker positions in order to accomplish its goal of improving
public service. This change will result in:
• substantial upgrade in the level of service to the development
community through increased plan checking capabilities,
• decreased plans processing time, since counter staff will have
the ability to review simple plans at the front counter (e.g. ,
patio covers, small room additions and remodels, limited
tenant improvements) ,
• expedited issuance of building permits,
• less cost to applicants, as fewer plans will need to be sent
out for accelerated review.
The department does not currently have the number of counter
contacts to justify dedicating two full-time employees to the front
counter. By having two additional Plan Checkers, the department
will have the flexibility to assign them to check plans in the plan
check room during periods when it is slow at the front counter.
This allows the department to assign employees to address the work
flow wherever the demand is greatest.
I have reviewed the job description for the Plan Checker position
and the organizational relationships are appropriate.
This change would affect two employees, one permanent, full-time
employee and one provisional employee. These employees would have
the opportunity to participate in the recruitment for the Plan
Checker positions. The permanent employee would also have the
option to exercise bumping rights according to Civil Service rules.
FUNDING
There will be no impacts to the City's general fund, since funding
for the Plan Checkers will come from the Economic Development
Agency through the Master Services Agreement.
Annual salaries plus fringe benefits for two Development Permit
Technicians -- $63 , 902/yr.
Annual salaries plus fringe benefits for two Plan Checkers --
$91,460/yr.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council delete two (2)
Development Permit Technician positions and establish two (2)
additional Plan Checker positions.
